Steps in Practising Evidence Based Medicine

EBM starts with a clinical problem ...

Step 1 involves coverting your need for information into a focused clinical question. The question you develop will impact upon the entire EBM research process. A good question will save time when researching, keep the focus on the patients' needs, and suggest an appropriate form the answer may take.

Step 2 involves finding the best evidence. The 6S Hierarchy of Evidence Based Resources is a useful model for organising resources.
